Office Space

Before the film, we'll be joined by Wade Roush, the host of the podcast Soonish, who will discuss the technology of personal productivity.

A master of depicting stupidity in the name of genius, writer/director Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, Silicon Valley) perfectly understands the use of satire to critique our culture, politics, and technology. Boasting unforgettable performances from Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, and Gary Cole, Office Space is a smart, acerbic takedown of corporate culture about a group of underappreciated, overworked drones and their clash with management, printers, and flair.
